Reading to young children is so important. It helps build their vocabulary, their understanding of the world around them. It helps them to understand themselves and what's going on inside their bodies. It helps them develop empathy and how their behavior affects others. The benefits are endless as well as the options. Here is a list of some of my favorites focusing on different categories and skills. I hope you will be inspired.

We will be traveling to Disney for the first time early 2024. This includes a Disney cruise. I'll be including wish list items, must haves and anything else I find along the way.

I've had my ears pierced nearly my whole life. I've never been interested in beautiful traditional earrings. I need my earrings to show the world who I am and that person is a little bit dorky, nerdy and fun. So honestly why wouldn't I let my earrings reflect that.

In a world that feels angry, sad, boring, and blah, sometimes you just need something a little extra …extra. I've recently discovered the idea of designing a maximalist space and/or dopamine decor. I can't even begin to explain to you how happy and glowy these concepts make me. They scream me. I just didn't know they had a name. They scream fun. They give you something to smile about when sometimes that feels impossible. Be you, be bold, and don't hold back!

I have no style. I need someone to emulate. Someone that is smart, understanding, fun, slightly uncomfortably ridiculous and intelligent. Isn't afraid to show people who she is, what she likes and what she knows. Your judgement and societal norms are not needed here. Ms Frizzle is in fact my person I want to emulate.

This is my fourth year working as an assistant in a preschool classroom. These are some of mine and my students favorite classroom items.
